PREFACE 

This  bibliography  has  been  prepared  at  the  suggestion 
of  the  School  of  Journalism  of  the  University  of  Wiscon- 
sin. The  point  of  view  kept  in  mind  has  been  to  gather 
material  for  the  use  of  one  who  would  write  a  history  of 
American  popular  magazines. 

The  popular  magazine  has  been  understood  as  that 
weekly  or  monthly  publication  which  is  commonly  read 
and  which  is  known  for  its  general  scope  and  inclusive- 
ness.  No  periodical  of  any  special  nature  has  been  in- 
cluded, such  as  technical,  educational,  or  religious.  In 
the  case  of  some  which  may  seem  to  be  devoted  to  one 
line  of  literature,  as  science  in  Popular  Science  Monthly, 
or  arts  and  crafts  in  Craftsman,  it  will  readily  be  recog- 
nized that  those  periodicals  are  making  a  decided  effort 
to  popularize  their  subjects  and  therefore  deserve  to 
.be  classed  as  popular  magazines. 

Aside  from  this  distinction,  the  inclusion  has  been  deter- 
mined largely  by  the  available  material.  While  some 
magazines  have  been  extensively  written  about  in  their 
own  or  contemporary  publications,  others  have  almost 
no  recorded  history.  Thus  while  the  Independent, 
Outlook,  and  Atlantic  are  fully  discussed  in  the  articles 
entered  under  their  respective  titles.  Review  of  Reviews 
and  the  American  Magazine  are  mentioned  only  in  in- 
clusive articles.  Some  of  the  most  interesting  and 
valuable  material  will  be  found  in  articles  written  about 
a  group  of  editors  or  of  magazines  which  have  not  been 
analyzed  for  the  individual  headings  because  of  the 
unavoidable  length  of  the  biblliography.  Wherever 
possible  the  sketch  of  an  editor  has  been  put  under  the 
heading  of  the  magazine  with  which  he  is  associated. 

The  most  apparent  thing  about  the  bibliography  as 
it  now  stands  is  its  incompleteness.  For  this  reason  a 
word  should  be  said  to  indicate  the  ground  that  may 
fairly  be  regarded  as  covered  and  that  which  has  not 
been  entered.  It  will  be  noticed  immediately  that  most 
of  the  entries  are  periodical  articles.  The  compiler 
believes  that  these  references  have  been  approximately 
covered  through  the  aids  used.  The  book  and  analytical 
entries,  however,  are  not  so  well  assembled.  No  books 
have  been  found  exclusively  on  magazines;  there  are  a  few 


in  which  pages  or  chapters  are  devoted  to  editors  and 
publishers.  These  have  been  discovered  through  trade 
catalogues,  indexes,  or  incidental  mention  in  other  articles. 
No  effort  has  been  made  to  search  out  biographical  ac- 
counts of  all  the  editors  and  publishers  in  all  possible 
places.  Only  those  listed  under  the  name  of  the  maga- 
zine with  which  they  are  connected,  or  those  mentioned 
in  some  other  article  so  listed,  have  been  verified  and 
included. 

The  obvious  reference  books  such  as  encyclopedias, 
special  cyclopedias,  and  biographical  dictionaries,  have 
been  entirely  neglected.  So  have  government  documents 
in  which  it  is  thought  there  may  be  found  articles  on  the 
postal  rate  discussion,  at  least. 

In  the  search  for  bibliographies  on  the  subject,  innu- 
merable references  have  been  found,  but  the  so-called 
bibliography  of  periodicals  proved  in  most  cases  to  be 
a  check-list  of  some  large  library  or  a  union  list  of  all  the 
periodicals  in  the.  libraries  in  a  given  locality.  None 
of  these  have  been  included,  as  they  make  no  distinction 
between  American  and  foreign  periodicals,  and  give  no 
annotations.
